As mentioned in our February blog post, WORD has been busy working on the post-production of our documentary short film, “No More“. On the film’s blog, we shared a “Beginners Guide to Documentary Film Post-Production” that walks through the basic steps of producing a film like, “No More“. Part of the process of making this film is going through the footage of people and stories we gathered, finding the “best-of”, and making them a part of a larger story arc.
One such story in “No More” is that of Chett Smith, a cytotechnologist from Promedica in Toledo, OH. Chetti’s role on the volunteer cervical cancer prevention team in Guatemala is that of an on-site cytotech. Chetti’s presence on the team, allows the patients being screened for cervical cancer to have their results from their pap tests the same day as their visit – thus bypassing many of the barriers to patient follow-up in the rural and low-infrastructure area of Peten. We thought we would share a video snippet here that introduces you to Chetti, and sort of give you a glimpse of the film as it progresses along.
The unique workflow of this film has also enabled WORD to partner with several key software providers in the film industry, which, in turn has opened up other opportunities to promote the film. Two recent examples of this is WORD being asked to be a guest blogger at Inqscribe.com and a partnership with the folks at ImagineProducts.com, to produce a video that promotes WORD’s use of their ShotPut Pro software on-location in Guatemala. Whether or not you find the technical aspects that these software offerings interesting, it still may interest you to catch a glimpse into some of the work WORD is doing to create the short film.
Finally, If you haven’t been keeping up with the progression of the film, be sure to follow the film’s blog, and learn all about the film at NoMoreTheMovie.com.
